Either they don’t actually have the license to use it, are knowingly or unknowingly infringing copyright by using it - and liable to be sued if discovered by the copyright holder, or…

…more likely, imo, as Nutini is on a major label and much more likely to be noticed…
They’ve paid and_do_ have license.

Major labels have thousands of artists and will typically need to get new clearance to use thousands of samples every year.
They will actually have people in the label whose job is specifically to get copyright clearance for samples used by their artists.

Aside from having more bucks to afford the many license fees, they probably pay a much lower rate through volume and negotiation - maybe even lower than other smaller labels would be asked to pay.

It’s likely that the asking price for using it in an audio-only remix is much lower than for using it prominently in a global, cross-media marketing campaign for a major global technology brand, but still expensive enough to put it typically out of reach of smaller, independent labels and artists.

So, finally spent some putting the finishing* touches to an ambient piece that I toyed with a few months ago…
